AN EASY EVERYDAY BRUSCHETTA

3 Ways to Serve And Six Optional Toppers

A simple, flexible appetizer with 3 ways to serve: place tomato mixture on grilled slices of crusty bread; spread on a long Italian loaf, smother with cheese, and bake; or enjoy with crackers or toasted pita. The Tuscan Herb Infusion means you don't need to add a lot of extra herbs. If you love our classic bruschetta, try our other favourites listed below. Or simply open your fridge or visit your garden and pick a few ingredients that hit the mark. EVOO and our aged balsamic will crown whatever version suits you today.

INGREDIENTS:
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 minced shallot, finely diced
1/2 tsp sea salt (or kosher)
6 plum tomatoes 
2 green onions finely chopped
3 tbsp Tuscan Herb Infused Olive Oil
1 tbsp Traditional dark balsamic or Sicilian Lemon white balsamic
2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
Optional: 1 baguette, cut in 1-inch slices horizontally, drizzled generously with EVOO then grilled or "toasted" in oven @ 450°
Salt and Pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:
Place garlic and shallot in medium-sized bowl. Sprinkle with salt and combine. Chop tomatoes in bitesize pieces, rinse to remove seeds and pat dry with paper towel. Add tomatoes and green onions to bowl. Add olive oil and balsamic, stir and coat evenly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, season to taste with salt and pepper then gently toss. Allow to sit for 1 hour then dollop on toasted baguette slices or your favourite version.
